\ ja SAXIFRAGACEAE, 
SCHIZOPHRAGMA. 
(Family Saxifragaceae). 
Shrubs, climbing by aerial roots: 
deciduous. Stems terete, rather 
slender, finally with exfoliating 
cortex: pith rounded, greenish, 
spongy. Buds rather small, the 
terminal somewhat larger, the 
lateral mostly developing into 
short spurs, solitary, with a couple 
of exposed scales. lLeaf-scars op- 
posite, U-shaped, somewhat raised, 
nearly meeting: bundle-traces 5: 
stipule-scars lacking. 
Winter-characters of 8S. hydran- 
geoides are given by Schneider, 
f. 223; and Shirasawa, 282, pl. 12. 
This and the following genus 
are often called climbing hydran- 
geas, but the climbing habit is 
found also in Hydrangea. 
Twigs red-brown, sometimes loose- 
ly hairy. S. hydrangeoides.
